My single turbo build with pictures

Figured id go ahead and post my build up here (bored at work anyways so might as well waste time)

ALS is doing my car at the shop with the famous ALS unbreakable seals (rated at 1900degrees) bought too much stuff for the car.

Car has been in the shop for a couple of weeks now. But because of the rotors bent we went ahead and ordered the older S4 rotors considering they have more meat on them and can withstand more pressure. The rotors came back after being clearenced, the motor has been dowled
and because when the rotors bent it scratched the housing we have to buy the front plate and port it again . So were working on that so the motor can be closed and then work on the piping for the new turbo

So so far this is a list of what i bought

4x 1680 injectors
2x MSD Dis 2 PLUS HO (part # 62113)
Greddy Race Plugs RE11
4x MSD blaster coil (part # 8207)
ss autocrome 60mm wastegate (WILL GO WITH TIAL LATER BUT MONEY IS KINDA SHORT)
Microtech LT 10 with x4 ignition box
OS Giken Twin disc clutch

Snow performance alcohol injection 2.5 gal tank & low level sensor
cooling mist 220psi pump & 700cc injector & stainless steel line
AEM water injection controller


Greddy Torque brace


Garrett GT42 turbo.
OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW


not my turbo but just a idea of the size difference. Mines on its way to mitsubishi as it cracked



Ill keep youguys updated later


DONT REALLY CARE HOW MUCH POWER I MAKE. AS LONG AS I CAN BEAT A 1000CC BIKE

You said your turbo is being sent to Mitsu for repair. You have a Greddy going in it?

oh and almost forgot the motor closed (pm me for a peak at the port)





Just to add something now that i have the Jaytech intake with the e&j throttle body i can now start on the piping for the turbo. Since i know its a mission. The reason why im saying that is the e&j throttle body with the jaytech intake sits in between the turbo & the motor. If you look at ernies GT42 its already huge so the question is how will all of this fit (and still have a intake fit for my car without hitting the radiator)

so so far this is the beginning of the mainfold (without the wastegate piping) the mainfold is on the right.


more likely im going to have to move the turbo a little to the front. However my main concern is the turbo heat too close to the intake (time for a turbo blanket)


an idea of the intake next to a big turbo

Lookin good, where are you going to mount the blaster coils? I'm deciding whether to keep my stock coils or get blaster coils. But I don't know where I'd mount them.
